THEl world tour of Dua Lipa has finally arrived in Italy. And, between perfectly curated choreography and an imposing scenography, left the audience of the Assago Forum (Milan) speechless. Has world pop found its new Queen?
Energy and futurism
Yesterday, Thursday 26 May, the singer was the protagonist of his second show at the Assago Forum. The dates in Italy of his world tour will end with the concert tomorrow, Saturday 28 May, atUnipol Arena in Casalecchio di Reno (Bologna).
The singer of Kosovar-Albanian origin she showed up with a tight pink onesiesurrounded by an impeccable dance troupe and from a scenography that incorporates the whole mood of his latest project, Future Nostalgiahis second album, released in March 2020. He started with energica Physical. And immediately after the hit New Rules.

Song after song, Dua Lipa consolidates his being an icon. She does it by involving the public with a show proposal that sees her as the absolute protagonist. But that it is something so explosive that it comes out of self-referentiality and becomes a party. To whom everyone is personally invited.
At the base of everything? Discipline and style
The truth is that Dua Lipa is one of the artists who has managed to conquer herself in recent years more slices of the public, worldwide. The songs of him are all radio hits that we know by heart. And his stage presence is magnetizing. During the show (during which he introduces five dress changes) he even gets on a mobile platform and sings Levitating literally suspended above the audience. Around her, a scenography with stars and planets.
While he sings We’re Goodinstead, a giant lobster appears on the stage. All while she is wearing a sequin bodysuit dizzying. Every moment of the show is so powerful that it seems to be in front of a real video clip, to a flawless product. The huge walls behind the singer alternate live images of the show with contents prepared for the tour, with a perfect mood Future Nostalgia.

Behind the success of such an impressive show there is one element in particular: discipline. Each song has a world of its own, thought out to perfection. THE twelve between dancers and dancers they are a guarantee (on some occasions they whiz on stage with skates).
As well as i four musicians on stage and the four choristers. But she is at the center. She who she dances non-stop, without missing a movement. And she sings. That’s right if she sings.
The unexpected: the fall of Dua Lipa
Her discipline also emerges when while she’s busy singing and dancing to her hit Be The One, slips and falls on the stage.
After a couple of secondsthe artist (winner of three Grammy Awards) is on his feet again, supported by a dancer. She and she is the queen of the evening again. She has no intention of escaping her audience, that she doesn’t stop screaming her name.
He continues to do so until the end of the concert when, after almost an hour and a half of the heart-pounding show, the artist sings the title track of his latest album And the hit Don’t Start Now. Thanking Milan for having welcomed it as it should. Yes, how the new Queen of Pop.
